9.22.2023 - Bright Lights, Big Christmas

Bright Lights, Big Christmas by Mary Kay Andrews 

Many thanks to NetGalley, Macmillan Audio and St Martin's Press for giving me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest seasonal novel by the queen, Mary Kay Andrews, and wonderfully narrated by another favorite, Kathleen McInerney - 5 stars!

Kerry is back home living with her mother after being let go from her job.  When her dad becomes ill, Kerry has to take his place at their annual corner in Greenwich Village with her older brother selling Christmas trees from their family farm.  They have to share a tiny vintage camper that sounds more charming than it is.  Kerry soon becomes close with nearby neighbors and becomes to think of them as family.  Then there's Patrick, a single dad raising his son, Austin, whom she has instant chemistry with.  But with time ticking, is there any chance for them?

Although it's not quite fall, any chance to read a Mary Kay Andrews Christmas novel is perfect!  Her writing invokes all the sights, smells and feelings of the season, and I was totally in!  This book hit all the romance notes, but also family loyalty and bonds, and a community looking out for each other,  Filled with great characters, it's the perfect start to Christmas!
